The reasons for the creation of the first geographical maps.

The reason is that people sought to determine their location on earth, on the seas. This eventually became the very first reasonable human need.
The thing is that people gradually discovered more and more new territories, and they could no longer do without some drawings, images of territories they had not yet studied. After all, this territory had not yet been examined by them, and in this regard, they began to explore new lands, and in this matter you definitely cannot do without a geographical map.
A primitive drawing of a primitive habitat laid the foundations for the most difficult and ambiguous direction of human activity. The exploration of new territories, as well as their description, gave impetus to intellectual evolution.
